Pets

This week our theme was “Pets”.  We discussed how to take care of our pets and on Wednesday & Thursday our classes took a field trip to the Medford Veterinarian Clinic (check out the picture link at the top of the page).  We also made a fish, a pattern snake and learned about how pets change and grow.  Our letter for the week was Xx and we reviewed the number 9.  On Monday, April 13^th the Humane Society will make a special visit to our classroom and collect the money we have raised for those pets still waiting to be adopted.

 Next week our theme will be “Seeds & Spring Flowers”.  The children will be making tissue paper flowers and learning how plants grow.  We will also use finger paint to create spring flowers and journal about flowers in our April journal.  Our letter for the week will be Uu and we will review the number 10.  If your child is still struggling to identify the numbers please be sure to spend extra time on this skill to help get them caught up.
